Final Shots: Comedy Central Announces Five New Series For Snapchat

Comedy Central may be one of the biggest names in cable, but that doesn’t mean the network isn’t looking past traditional television. The home of Broad City, Inside Amy Schumer, and South Park announced plans to launch five new short-form series on its Snapchat channel this week, reports StreamDaily. Along with the just launched Swag-a-Saurus, starring comedian James Davis, Comedy Central also announced Nikki Glaser’s Quickie with Nikki, Never Wrong with Yassir Lester, Liza Treyger’s Like it with Liza, and Michelle Wolf-fronted sketch series Now Hiring. No premiere dates were announced for the latter four series. The new series make the network the latest established name to embrace the social media app, along with Major League Baseball and Sofia Vergara.
